TL;DR Summary

Italy's highest court has ordered two American tourists to stand a new trial for the 2019 killing of a policeman in central Rome following a botched attempt to buy drugs, but upheld a murder sentence for one of them. Finnegan Lee Elder was convicted of murder and sentenced to 24 years in jail for stabbing Mario Cerciello Rega to death in Rome, while his friend, Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth, was handed a 22-year term. The court said Natale-Hjorth should stand trial again because there was not enough evidence of his complicity in the killing.
